We have to bow down and worship her because hey guess what, in case you haven't heard she's a lesbian. So she's a hero and yeah we just have to drop everything and worship the ground she walks on. I don't get why this chick gets treated like the Messiah, seriously.

I knew her in the early 80s when I worked in an SF comedy club and, on her behalf, she was a pretty good and well-liked comedian. She was "out" back then, too---but that was never part of her act. My guess is that, if she's being treated like a Messiah these days, it's more the doing of the media. Back in the 80s, her lesbianism was neither an issue nor a selling point.

The awkward dancing has become her shtick on her talk show. I've never found her that funny (whether it's standup or that sitcom she had in the 90s), although I do like that she doesn't take herself too seriously. I think that caused me to see her in a new light.
